Horton General Hospital

The Horton General Hospital is a National Health Service run hospital, located on the Oxford Road, in the Calthorpe ward of Banbury. The hospital has 236 beds and was founded in 1872 by Mary-Ann Horton. There is a mobile phone mast on the north part of the hospital.

In the News

*In 2005 there were rumours that the hospital may close. This led Banbury MP, Tony Baldry, plus a large proportion of the town's population to start a campaign to keep the hospital open. These rumours were subsequently found to be unfounded.

*In 2006 the Horton came into the limelight because Benjamin Geen, a nurse employed there, was convicted of two murders and fifteen counts of grievous bodily harm in April of that year. During December 2003 and January 2004 he had poisoned patients because he got a thrill out of trying to resuscitate them.
